RINES BROTHERS.

No wonder our Easter Card Coun-
ter has been crowded with buyers to-
day. The clerks in that department
are buster now than they have been
since Christmas. The reason is-ev-
cry Card, every Egg and every other
Easter Souvenir that we are offering
this year is entirely new and differ
emit from anything you have seen
here before, different too from any
you can find in other stores. Choice
little hand decorated Cards, done in
colors and sepia, with inscriptions
appropriate to the season, not senti-
mental and wishy-washy, but ex-
pressing just enough to make them
acceptable remembrances of Easter
time, that's why everybody wants
them; that's why the department is
so crowded.
More beautiful than ever are those
thin little books containing selec-
ton from some author or poet, illus
trated and daintily bound in ragged
edge parchment paper tied with rib
bon; many people prefer them to the
cards, and as they are thin enough to
go in an envelope they make grace
full mementos to send distant friends.
We hope everybody will see these ar
tistic things whether they buy or not.

Ityou glance into our street window
tonight you will notice displayed
therein selections from our Mems
Furnishings Department.
The samples in the window don't
do our stock justice because there is
not room to show quarter part of
the immense variety we have opened
this week, furthermore, nothing looks
as well through glass that can't be
kept clean as it does inside where you
are near enough to take hold and ex-
anime closely. Still the window ans
wers its purpose to attract your atten-
ton and we try to put things in there
which will induce you to come in the
store and see more.
We want to impress it upon you
that the feature of our system is price.
We keep every makers goods because
no one maker can get all the best
styles; tastes differ and what pleases
one man disgusts another. Every
body can get what he wants from our
stock and at most any price he wish
es to pay. You can find Fisk, Clark
az Flags neckwear, Clnett's Collars
and Adler's Gloves at other stores in
Portland but not at our prices -
that's worth remembering.

BiIiousness

! smore general at this season than at any other.
The bitter taste. offensive breath, coated tongue
sick headache, drowsiness, dizziness and loss of
appetite make the victim miserable, and disagree
able to others. Hoods Sarsaparilla combines the
best anti-bilious remedies of the vegetable king
dom, in such proportion as to derive their best
medicinal effects without the least disturbance to
the whole system. This preparation is so well
balanced In its actions upon the aiiimentary canal
and the circulation Of the blood, that it brings
about healthy action of the entire human organ
ISM, restores the appetite, and overcomes that
tired feeling. Try II this season.
